[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#501219: cups: Fails to add HP Laserjet Printer in web frontend

[Wolf Wiegand]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-1lenny1
Severity: important

Hi,

I am trying to add an HP Laserjet 1010 printer to CUPS using the
webfrontend. I am using the following values for this:

Name: Laserjet
Location: Wohnzimmer
Description: HP Laserjet 1010

Device: HP LaserJet 1010 USB 00CNFD359868 HPLIP (HP Laserjet 1010)

Model: HP Laserjet 101 Foomatic/hpijs (en)

After entering these values and hitting 'Add printer', my
browser waits for the next page to show, but no answer is coming from
cups anymore. Iceweasel just shows 'loading' for a long time and finally
displays a blank page.

strace on cupsd reveals:

$ sudo strace -p 1838
Process 1838 attached - interrupt to quit
time(NULL)                              = 1223226565
epoll_wait(0,  <unfinished ...>
Process 1838 detached

The printer URI seems to be correct:

wolf at pii400:~ $ sudo hp-probe
[...]

  Device URI                                    Model           
  --------------------------------------------  ----------------
  hp:/usb/hp_LaserJet_1010?serial=00CNFD359868  HP LaserJet 1010

$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:0c17 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 1010

Cheers,

Wolf
